After a sad farewell to our week eight leavers it was back to our daily routine with lots more jobs to do...so a trip to Namena was exactly what the doctor ordered to boost the spirits of the remaining eight volunteers! With our old pal Up & Under up and running again, we set off across the choppy seas for a two tank dive. After an amazing exploration of Grand Central Station seasickness got the better of us during our surface interval so it was a blessing in disguise when a broken mask forced the second dive to be aborted in favour of a return to camp.

However there was no rest for the wicked as it was our final ladies night that same day which meant cooking for thirty and drinking grog late into the night. The rest of the week we were kept busy with our rescue diver training which we all passed!!! Our final Saturday party was a lonely affair with the number on camp nearly halved but once the Bounty rum kicked in, spirits were high!

The next couple of days were rather emotional, starting with our final Sunday in Navatu, followed by our only nine weeker, Lauren, leaving.

But once again the perfect cure was....NAMENA! Our recently qualified Dive Master, Trainee Steve, marked the occasion of his 100th dive by going commando, save for a sulu...a brave decision as he was chosen to lead the dive...we enjoyed it very much!

Our final days on Nasonisoni Island were filled with goodbyes.

Firstly to Navatu, who invited us over for a kavalicious Ta-Tau, secondly to our beautiful camp, which we lovingly tidied up (phase 23

- it's never looked so good, enjoy!) and lastly each other. And so phase 22 comes to an end. Thanks for the laughs and the memories, we've had a BANGIN' time!
